'''SWAT Team Rotation:'''<br/>
'''Next Team Meetings:'''<br/>
*Bug Triage meeting Thursday June 6th at 7:30 am PDT (https://zoom.us/j/454367603?pwd=ZGxoa2ZXL3FkM3Y0bFd5aVpHVVZ6dz09)
*Weekly Engineering Sync Tuesday June 4th at 8 am PDT (https://zoom.us/j/990892712?pwd=cHU1MjhoM2x6ck81bkcrYjRrcmJsUT09)
*Twitch -  See https://www.twitch.tv/theyoctojester


*SWAT lead is currently: Ross
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*SWAT team rotation: Ross -> Chen on Mar. 1, 2019
*YP 4.0.19 is in QA
*SWAT team rotation: Chen -> Armin on Mar. 8, 2019
*YP 5.1 M1 rc1 is building
*https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Yocto_Build_Failure_Swat_Team
*We identified the performance problem in bitbake using hash equivalence servers and have made changes to batch queries and improve build times
*Extra logging for that performance problem is available by setting BB_LOGCONFIG=XXX/bitbake/contrib/autobuilderlog.json (the more verbose logging the autobuilder uses) which will then show if initial query or rehash looping takes longer than 30s for iterations or 60s overall.
*We changed locked-sigs to include the hash equivalence mapping data, removing the need to copy the cache file.
*Libtool was upgraded to the 2.5.0 alpha release, many patches were merged upstream.
*Qemu has been upgraded to 9.0.0, kernel headers to 6.9 and stable and dev kernel updates merged (to 6.6.32)
*There is one remaining issue on fedora40, systemtap-native does not build. The other Fedora 40 are believed to be fixed.
*Some layers are setting fallbacks for UNPACKDIR which break OE-Core by trying to claim compatibility with everything. Errors have been added to make this problem clear.
*sstate has had changes to fix a bug where build-history data was inconsistent. The siteconfig class was removed to make that change easier and improve the code, it was mostly unused anyway.
*The parallelism in the hash client was removed as batching queries is much more effective and easier on the server.
*There is an open letter the project has created related to the CVE/NVD situation, more information is available here: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/message/1990
*Please consider signing this to show support for those changes.
*Signatures from small businesses/consultancies are as welcome as those from larger organizations as we want to demonstrate the breadth of the need for these changes.
*There is a further update from Marta/Syslinbit on the CVE tooling/patches
*We continue to have trouble tracking down the rust reproducibility problem in rustdoc.
*Post release upgrading is resulting in an improvement in patch metrics which is great to see, more should appear next week in the statistics too.


'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Ways to contribute:'''<br/>
*We have now passed the feature freeze point for 2.7
*As people are likely aware, the project has a number of components which are either unmaintained, or have people with little to no time trying to keep them alive. These components include: devtool, toaster, wic, oeqa, autobuilder, CROPs containers, pseudo and more. Many have open bugs. Help is welcome in trying to better look after these components!
*YP 2.7 M2 rc2 is out of QA and being readied for release.  See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/WW07_-_2019-02-14_-_Full_Test_Cycle_2.7_M2_RC2 and https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Yocto_Project_v2.7_Status#Milestone_2_-_Target_Feb._1.2C_2019
*There are bugs identified as possible for newcomers to the project: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Newcomers
*We now have resulttool, buildhistory and build-performance all working with the autobuilder and will be using this as the primary QA mechanism going forward. More details can be found here:
*There are bugs that are currently unassigned for YP 5.1. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Medium+_5.1_Unassigned_Enhancements/Bugs
http://lists.openembedded.org/pipermail/openembedded-architecture/2019-February/001591.html
*We’d welcome new maintainers for recipes in OE-Core. Please see the list at: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky/tree/meta/conf/distro/include/maintainers.inc and discuss with the existing maintainer, or ask on the OE-Core mailing list. We will likely move a chunk of these to “Unassigned” soon to help facilitate this.
*There were some serious usability issues found with multiconfig, those have been fixed in master and thud.
*Help is very much welcome in trying to resolve our autobuilder intermittent issues. You can see the list of failures we’re continuing to see by searching for the “AB-INT” tag in bugzilla: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=AB-INT.
*Various recipe upgrades made it in, thanks to all who contributed. Several recipes also converted to meson including glib-2.0 and gdk-pixbuf.
*Help us resolve CVE issues: CVE metrics
*We now need to build M3 as we’re past feature freeze point for 2.7. Right now we’re aware of the following things which ideally need to be resolved first:
*We have a growing number of bugs in bugzilla, any help with them is appreciated.
**Bug 13178 “X server and matchbox desktop don't start up properly on beaglebone” needs to be fixed
**Find the framebuffer problem with qemuarmv7 and switch to that
**Several ptest issues would be addressed (missing openssl tests, 3 timeouts)
**Arm build host issues identified and resolved
*It’s unlikely we’ll switch to virtgl by default for 2.7 due to lack of testing from the community although the base patches for this have merged.
